Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it's sayin that Q is a point in between the end-points P & R. If we join P & R , it forms a line segment & Q is in the line segment PR. Hence PQ & QR are also line segments which combine to form line segment PR. So ,

PR = PQ + QR

Putting the given values of PQ ,QR & PR

=> 4x - 12 + 2x + 7 = 31

=> 6x - 5 = 31

=> 6x = 31 + 5

         = 36

=> x = 36/6 = 6

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 32 square feet. It’s length is 4 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wid
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Area = L * w

w = x

l = x  + 4

Area = 32

Solution

32 = x(x + 4)

32 = x^2 + 4x

x^2 + 4x - 32

(x + 8)(x - 4)

Only x - 4 is going to make any sense

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

The width is 4

The length is 4 + 4 = 8

4*8 = 32 which is the area.

Find the surface area.
denpristay [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

a rectangular prism (like this brick) has the same basic structure as a cube (like a die) : it has 6 sides.

while a die has 6 equal sides, a rectangular prism has 3 pairs of equal sides :

top and bottom

left and right

front and back

all we have to do is calculate the areas of the 6 rectangles and add them up. that's it.

your remember, the area of a rectangle is

length × width

in our case we have

top and bottom : 2.5×11.5 × 2 = 28.75×2 = 57.5 in²

left and right : 2.5×5 × 2 = 12.5×2 = 25 in²

front and back : 11.5×5 × 2 = 57.5×2 = 115 in²

so, the total surface area of the whole block is

57.5 + 25 + 115 = 197.5 in²
